Éilis Lavelle
After over 20 years in the arts, the work of our creative director and founder, Éilis Lavelle’s practice and research are concerned with biocultural diversity, place and belonging.
Her experience stretches across an expanse of fields from producing to curating to editing, and she has worked on an abundance of projects including exhibitions, films, publications, curated screening, socially engaged and arts participation projects as well as public realm commissions.
She is completing an MSc in Psychology. This, alongside her experience and honest passion for creative works, makes Éilis a partner for those within the arts who need guidance, mentoring, direction or even a quick fix to get a project back on track.
